A Horrible Story

So I have a friend at school, John, who is very poor and down on his luck. The final nail in the coffin came today, but I will come to that later.
Firstly, John is an overweight mexican. The first thing that happened this year was that his parents sued him. Yep, his own parents sued their 16 year old son. Long story short, his dad tried to take away an Ipod that John bought for a friend, and John punched his dad's car. This led to his father taking him to court, along with his mother (she claimed he pushed her, which is bullshit). John had to spend roughly two weeks in juvenile hall, and only got out when his grandparents came and picked him up.
Now, John was poor before, but his grandparents are piss poor; John literally eats about once every two days, if he is lucky, and its not even a sustantial meal. Its also a really bad neighborhood he lives in; he hears gunshots roughly once every couple of days.
The only source of entertainment John has is his PSP; he doesn't have a computer (obviously) or a television. (Side Note: John's grades are also failing horribly because of the absence of a computer; he used to be a straight A student.) Anyway, today, after school, we were sitting in front of our high school, with me waiting for my mother and him waiting for the bus. I was sitting next to him, and he was lying on his back, playing his PSP. All of the sudden there is a flash of gray and this black kid runs between us very quickly. Before I can process what happened, John yelled "What the fuck!" and started to give chase to the kid. I then noticed the PSP was missing; he had run by and snatched it from John's hands.
Anyway, John disappeared around the corner, and my mom came, so I left.
The point is; I feel bad for John, and I am in a well to do family. I am considering buying him a new PSP, and also donating my old computer to him, so he can do schoolwork. That PSP was all he had left, and this wasn't fair.

actually, we joke about this, he is just as fat as ever.
he has that kind of "hard" fat
not to question your devotion to your friend or anything
but you know, calling someone a "fat mexican"
not exactly the most flattering thing you can say about someone, you know?
well, he has good endurance; he was on the football team. i hope he caught the kid.
Doesn't add up.
it's krieger von asshole, he's the one who registered just to make fun of tfs and then registered new accounts every time he thought of a 'badass' name
he's not too bright
well, i wanted to get the facts down so you would know why he didn't catch the kid
and i'm not really devoted to him... we aren't that close.
it's just how you refer to friends
i'm the balding fat guy
my roommate was the skinny asshole
another friend was the mac fag
it's what friends do
Portly Hispanic?
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
oh hahaha
grow the fuck up
and leave it alone. it was a prank half a year ago.
ok?
Yeah, my friends all had different labels.
The asian looking guy who's mother had sex with the milk man (we said this because both his parents are white).
The septic tank yank.
The irishman with the tiny head.
I used to be the fat guy.
only if you stop posting.

Is it ironic that he mentions a fat kid and for some reason that site is now Haagen-Dazs?
what the flying heck
haha then why are you hanging out with him
are you like some garbage rich kid
where the only thing you have is money, so to play that up even more you stand next to poor kids?
I've found a flaw in your story
the guy is fat, but he eats approximately 3 times a week.
What's up with that?!
i think the PSP is ok,
i mean look at the fantastic capabilities; music, photos, videos, GAMES that look like PS2! Ask your parents for own today!
the DS was not featured in the hit movie "inside man"
Deal.
